Prince back at it again with another ABSOLUTE banger. This time, featuring our beloved fashion horse; Rarity (voiced using TalkNet). And let me tell you, she DEFINITLY has a few things to say throughout this epic metal track, about fakeness and how obtuse people can be. It can take a lot from people who constantly have to surround themselves with such folk. I am so glad Rarity expresses that throughout this song together with Prince and BGM! The guitar work is once again phenomenal, the chorus is an absolute bastion of epicness, and the vocals of both NAIL it!
Daniel Ingram – Awesome As I Wanna Be [NAMII Cover] | Pop-Punk
Namii’s first track of the new year is a rocking pop-punk cover of “Awesome As I Wanna Be” from Rainbow Rocks. With Namii’s spectacular performance, its tight production, and the creative background vocals, its energy is so high that Namii might have even outdone Rainbow Dash as she teases in a new original verse, “move so slick you’ll lose your god damn mind!” And luckily, Sunset Shimmer didn’t think to sabotage her, allowing us all to enjoy this heck of a banger!
Jyc Row – Apostles of the Sacred Fire (Ayzat the Wingless theme) [elg. Gabriel Borza] | Symphonic Metal
The ONE and ONLY Jyc Row, ONCE AGAIN delivers another wonderful tune for us to enjoy and cherish, featuring the talent of Gabriel Borza! If your hype & excitement for Infinite Eclipse wasn’t there yet, I am sure it will after hearing this absolute FIRESPARK of a song! Representing the sacred fire of the Kirins, Jyc & Gabriel unleash its fury through your speakers! With majestic orchestral and outstanding guitar works becoming ONE to bring you another piece originating from this epic story! Feel free to embrace it and just be in the moment. Marvellously done Jyc & Gabriel!
EveryDayDashie – Pezuña al Corazón | Latin Rock
Here we go!~ with this lovely tune made by the oh so amazing EveryDayDashie! I knew that Dashie was amazing in EVERY direction he goes when talking music…but Latin Rock? That’s just amazing! I believe, it truly speaks volumes on how talented this person is! Dashie delivers us today; Pezuña al Corazón. Which is Spanish for “hoof to heart”. A TRUE code to live by, and expressed wonderfully throughout this song with an out-of-this-world passion for G5 with a Latin tint added unto it! Epic vocals, epic drums, wonderful melodies! It’s ALWAYS a pleasure to write for Dashie. Keep being you, and keep spreading your wonderful messages of love and endearment for the ponies we love!

Violin Melody – Press Start | Future House
Ah, Violin Melody… so happy to hear from her again with her epic music tunes! I couldn’t wait to Press Start on this. (NO PUN INTENDED I SWEAR) And you bet that it’s ALWAYS pleasure to do! This lovely, bouncy, and hyper track ABSOLUTELY delivers… I love the shifts, the overall vibe, the electronics… WHAT A TRACK! And It’s always a pleasure as well to write music with Sunny involved. I’d LOVE to more video games involving her to be honest. I think she’s great. The rainbow power of this track flowing hard and beautifully just like her mane… Epic! great work Violin! Keep it up with your wonderful melodies… It’d be an honour to write for you again. ❤
MCO945 – Sunlight Path | Liquid Drum & Bass
A recent release from MCO945 has me in awe honestly, it’s not often you see such great Liquid D&B tracks. It’s ethereal and light, funky, the pads that play throughout are the best thing about the track, and the shuffle-like drums add a very catchy rhythm, kind of reminds me of Desimal’s works. The whole song gets you the feeling of ascension to heaven, with Princess Celestia waiting there to comfort you, as depicted in the artwork. Seriously, give this song a listen, you won’t regret it.
Daniel Ingram – A Changeling Can Change (SpinScissor Remix) | Trance
SpinScissor has pulled out all the stops for their first release of 2023! A great drawn out ethereal and soothing opening transitioning and twisting itself with a driving beat and sharp synth arpeggios it nails that Deadmau5 inspiration from yesteryear as well as some inklings of older pony music. The entirety of this large nearly eight minute long track zips by in a flash which is no small feat and the “epilogue” style ending where Thorax is finally accepted adds that satisfying closure, keeping everything tight as a drum!
TM – ¡Viva Las Pega! | Hip-Hop
I know summer hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m already feeling like vacationing in a tropical utopia! Dream vacations are no longer an imaginary fantasy as TM’s new gorgeous track “¡Viva Las Pega!” delivers a fresh, upbeat Hip-Hop vibe with its rich instrumentation. From the punchy drums to the lively trumpet fluttering in the air, you can feel the entire spectrum of vibrations around you as if you’re immersed in a real excursion to your dream destination. Give it a listen if you’re in for a chill and relaxing voyage, but don’t forget to hop in the vacation van and let TM show you the astonishing scenery all around!
Ethan Tovas – Starsong | Pop
I’ll be the first to admit that I know very little about Generation 3 of My Little Pony, but thankfully Ethan Tovas has us covered with another song that is dedicated to another G3 pony to give us an idea of its vibe. Just like his other G3 pony tracks, the song aims to capture the essence of said title character, Starsong, with its sweet, airy vocalized melodies and background rhythm like a pony is gently pulling you in a cart through this adventure. I won’t spoil the little twists throughout, but let me just say, once you get to them, you’ll be dancing like its 2008 all over again.
